Tile-topped Oak Mission Table

I live on a farm in western Oregon with a grove of ancient oak trees on it. A few years ago one of the old giants gave up in a windstorm and assumed a horizontal position. We were able to salvage and kiln dry some lumber. This table is one of the products that I have come up with. Notice the spalting on the shelf and elsewhere. I’m pleased with the results. Now on to the next project. David

P.S. As far as finish goes, I just used some semi-gloss polyurethane with no stain. I didn’t want to take a chance on hiding the beautiful spalting and I wanted to use something that was quick and easy to apply because I’m also in the middle of building two (2) cribs. Busy, busy, busy. David
